Christian Dior drew endless inspiration from the surroundings of Les Rhumbs, his childhood abode in Normandy. Tucked among seaside cliffs, the legendary couturier’s Belle Époque family home was ensconced in a winter garden bustling with botanical life. Embedded in the garden’s paving stones was a mosaic compass rose, rendered in shades of blue to mimic the ocean’s ever-changing hues. It would become a central motif of the designer’s storied fashion house.
More than a century later, the emblem is the muse for Rose des Vents—a line of bejeweled amulets and charms designed as keepsakes with a protective power. The offering, now in its 10th year, is the brainchild of Victoire de Castellane, longtime artistic director of Dior Joaillerie. With each new collection, Rose des Vents reaches new heights while hewing close to the spirit of its origins—a timeless source of comfort and beauty.
